关于召开第六届「世界青年佛学研讨会」的通知
和平，是一切众生的梦。
漫长的历史中，我们经历了无数战争的洗礼，围绕资源、财富、权力、思想......包括人类在内的一切生命，在仇恨中饱尝痛苦。
今天的和平之路，更加艰险而崎岖：恐怖袭击的阴影、难民潮的悲歌、大规模杀伤性武器的威胁、对动物的各种杀戮，还有人心中刹那无息的烦恼争斗......有形无形的战争包裹着这颗蓝色星球，和平的柔光里，总是含藏着泪光。
如何平息干戈？人们为此付出了无数努力：用武力来捍卫，用非暴力来坚守，用爱来救赎，还是，用慈悲来觉悟？
每一次心怀众生的思考，都有珍贵的价值。第六届世界青年佛学研讨会将与所有智者探讨「和平之路」，不分种族、国界、学科和信仰。并设置「南传佛教」「北传佛教」「藏传佛教」三个板块，邀您全方位了解佛教关于和平的见解与修行。

Announcement of the Sixth World Youth Buddhist Symposium
Peace has been a long cherished dream for all sentient beings.
Looking back, we find ourselves constantly ravaged by countless wars triggered by fightings for resources, wealth, power or ideology, from which not only ourselves, but all beings tasted the bitterness when trapped in hatred.
Today the way to peace is more challenging: the blue planet is overshadowed by terrorist attacks, the sighs of displaced refugees, the threat of WMD（weapons of mass destruction), slaughter of animals and the restless competition and afflictions among human beings. The light of peace is dimed with disheartening tears.
Various options have been made to quell the fights such as violent defence, non-violence appeals or loving redemption. Maybe, this time, we can try to awaken ourselves once empowered with compassion.
Every reflection on the wellbeing of all lives matters. The Sixth World Youth Buddhist Symposium will start a journey of exploration towards peace. Great masters and young talents are invited to explore THE WAY OF PEACE transcending the divisions of race, nationality, faith and research field. Three sessions are established, through which Buddhist views and practices related to peace will be elaborated respectively from the perspective of Theravada Buddhism, Han Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism.
